Gurit has secured DNV type approval under standard DNV-CP-0084 for its Corecell S structural foam core. The certification confirms the material’s structural integrity under high hydrostatic pressure, making it the first non-syntactic foam approved for deep-water composite applications.
For boatbuilders and marine engineers working on expedition superyachts and subsea equipment, the core provides high crush strength and minimal buoyancy loss. It is engineered for the construction of aboard ROVs, tender impact protection, diving modules, and subsea buoyancy units. The foam integrates into existing composite workflows, supporting vacuum infusion, hand lamination, and thermoforming.
- Certification: DNV-CP-0084 (Sandwich Core Materials), DNV Underwater Technology Pt. 2 Ch. 5
